Citaten van C.S. Lewis – Het Leven
“Je zult nooit weten hoe sterk je in iets gelooft tot het een kwestie van leven en dood is.” “Als je denkt dat deze wereld een plaats is die simpelweg voor ons geluk is bedoeld, dan zul je deze vrij onverdraaglijk vinden: als je de wereld beschouwt als een plaats waar je opgeleid en gecorrigeerd wordt dan ziet het er niet zo slecht uit.” – God in the Dock (Engelstalig)
“Eén van de dingen die een mens van de andere dieren… Continue

Hello everyone: God is love! He gave everything He had just for us! He taught us how to truly love and he still leaves us an option to either love Him back or not. But He still loves us no matter what we choose. I chose to love Him and give to Him everything of mine for His divine purposes that others may see Christ in me! Surrender is the most wonderful, freeing experience in the world! May God bless all of you and may you experience all the love God freely gives to you! In His Love and Care,… Continue

The FIRST step is DISSECTING (as I showed in the previous post).
The SECOND step is UNDERSTANDING what is writen.
These are the things I look at and ask, in no particular order:
** THE CONTEXT - What comes before and what comes after? ** CROSS REFERENCES - What do other parts of the Bible say about this? The Bible is a progressive book of God's revelation, so the later revelations generally come later in the…Continue

I Know ..Who Is My Lord !!!!
I know He is the beginning, so why do I worry about the end?
I know He is the creator, so why do I wonder who will destroy?
I know He has forgiven me, so why can't I forgive myself?
I know He is a healer, so why do I speak of sickness?
I know He can do all things, so why do I say I can't?
I know He will protect me, so why do I fear?
I know He will supply all my needs, so why can't I…Continue

I feel this may be of benefit to someone, to help you study and understand a passage of Scripture. I want to share here how I do it.
The FIRST thing I do after reading the passage is to dissect it into manageable parts, so I can find out what the passage is really saying. I was asked to look at Deut 6, so I'm using this as an example. (The text is NKJ):
At our Tuesday night Bible study, we'd been studying Hebrews. We've just come to the end and finished chapter 13 a couple of weeks ago. It only took us just under two years. (You can't rush these things!!) :-)
Anyhow, rewind eight chapters back!! We were looking at chapter 5 and talking about the priesthood.
When I think of a priest, I'd think of someone dressed in… Continue

Here are some thoughts from the Bible on "Yokes and Burdens" ...
Firstly, some words from Jesus:
"At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My…
Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. NIV
There’s a warning against deceiving ourselves, imagining that we can sow one thing in life and reap something different, imagining that we can get away with things that God won’t see, that we won’t be caught up with the consequences of our actions. The Bible warns us this isn’t so. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
We know this is true in the natural realm. We… Continue

In Luke chapter fifteen we find a story that Jesus told that we call, “The Prodigal Son.” The story is a very moving story about a wayward son and how he came to his senses and returned home to his father.
I want to discuss the process of him returning to his father.
In verse eleven Jesus said, "A man had two sons.” he went on to say that the younger of the two sons wanted his share of the… Continue
This innocent little boy, being blind made someone's day and just seeing this made me cry.... Sometimes we get caught up in our problems and do not stop to realize that there are others worse off than us and yet they live in hope and love...
Watch this video and You'll see what I'm talking about...
It brought me to tears~~~
Let us all be greatful for each day of life that God gives us, for being able to see, being able to walk, being able to use our both legs, our hands... There… Continue

There was a BIG discussion going on in the chat room today about riches. And is it right for a Christian to desire wealth? And the love-of-money-is-the-root-of-all-evil verse was quoted.
So what should our attitude be? And why are there some Christians who are very blessed with money, and then other Christians who have nothing? Doesn't it seem a bit unfair on God's part that some have and some don't?
Well, that is questions I've tackled with for years. But at last, I see… Continue
